A picture of one of the many geysers in the El Tatio Geyser Field taken at sunrise. Note the yellow sulphur sprinkles near the bottom-right corner of the picture. In my next post I'll show a detail of this kind of natural firework.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Tatio Geyser Field (locally known as Los Géiseres del Tatio) is located within the Andes Mountains of northern Chile at 4,200 meters above mean sea level. Contrary to some reports, it is not the highest-elevation geyser field in the world. Puchuldiza Geyser Field, Chile, and possibly several other fields are higher in elevation . Tourists often visit the geysers while touring the nearby Atacama Desert and the village San Pedro de Atacama.
With over 80 active geysers, El Tatio is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere and the third largest field in the world, after Yellowstone, USA, and Dolina Giezerov (partially destroyed June 2007), Russia.
Though possessing numerous geysers, none erupt very high. The highest eruption observed has been around six meters in height. The average geyser eruption height at El Tatio is about 75 centimeters.
The best time to see them is at sunrise when each geyser is surmounted by a column of steam that condenses in the bitterly cold morning air. The steam plumes disappear as the air warms up. It is also possible to bathe in the hot geyser water in a small pool. However parts of the field are very dangerous with a thin crust over almost boiling mud so ask your guide where you may go. |

Grande paesaggio naturale, immagine forte e drammatica.
La sottoesposizione del cielo... credo sia voluta per scopi comunicativi... l'ora solare infatti è molto difficile da stabilire.
Un saluto

Ciao Matteo,
Cile Bolivia, dev'esser stata una bella avventura vero ... Se riesco li provo il prossimo anno, sempre in questo tuo periodo (meno precipitazioni)...accidenti ancora tante cose da vedere...Per il momento mi gusto queste tue belle immagini, questo scatto è davvero dall'atmosfera dantesca, molto ben riuscito l'effetto del controluce coperto dai vapori, mi piace molto l'outline delle montagne sul retro...complimenti, aspetto altri scatti di questo tuo viaggio.
Notte
Ale
Ciao Matteo,

Salut Matteo
Very good. I know what is to shoot in this place with very cold weather and high altitude. This is a stunning place and your shot is really great. We are on the moon.
Cheers
JP
